Me, listening to WTNV episode 45 "A Story About Them": Man, there's some cool songs that come up during the weather. I wonder what it would be like to encounter a song I already know and like?

WTNV": *goes the weather and plays a song I know and like*

Me:

I'M SORRY

WHAT

[lillianforest22]

Why does everyone draw Cecil in like a clean outfit it is one of the inky canon thing that he has the most messed up fasion sence. Un ironic cat ears. Tutus. Sponge clogs. Y’all need to add the chaos

[lillywaterr]

I don’t know if this has been talked about before and I’m just restating already known facts, but this song has a scarily similar energy as desert bluffs. Just something about it feels incredibly similar to the dreaded town and I need to know if anyone else thought this as well. What made me really think about this is the lyrics at 2:31-2:49

“There’s no reason to where a frown. I had an operation with no adverse reaction, they tampered with my brain some. It helped me see the reason, for living in the system”

Podcasts decided to kick my ass today

Welcome to Night Vale, Midnight Burger, Sherlock & Co., and the first episode of the new season of White Vault: Goshawk came out today, not to mention the TMP digipack (the art in which I will be making stickers out of methinks). Pretty sure episode four of Misfits and Magic is also releasing tomorrow so. OH. And my friend just finished the first season of TMA do I was talking about *that*.

If I wasn't so goddamned busy I would be ecstatic. Instead I just have to stare at them like a man looking at green lights across a harbor. Damn...

I love podcasts because their interjections of horror are so different. Like

The Magnus Archive: “CHRIST!” To “SHIT”

Welcome to Night Vale: “HELL!” To “OH MY GOD!”

Wolf 359: “GOD!” To “SON OF S BITCH!”

Malevolent: “FUCK!” To “SON OF S FUCKING BITCH” Malevolent has no censorship AT ALL

It’s kinda funny

Media I imagine different fiction podcasts in instead of the media of being a podcast.

TMA: A selection of volumes, relating to the fears, each with those removable covers. Those covers has a victim or two, and then underneath the cover is a really detailed cover. The paper is decoratively ripped, with a kind of scraggly font, and each has a foreword and ‘author’s note’ from Jonathan Sims.

Malevolent: A really gritty graphic novel with deadly detail in each panel, and very little color. Maybe a trinket on each important character has a color? Like Arthur’s eyes being yellow or Oscar’s collar having a blue sheen to it. The novels are long, dramatic, and intimate in a visceral way.

Welcome to Night Vale: Local 58 bullshit. A broadcast on television with low quality images and audio, tacky music, and a kind of 80’s aesthetic. Each episode the words WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE zoom onto the screen, the purple eye behind them. And each weather segment is an animated short by a different artist.

The Penumbra(Juno Steel): A webcomic. Hours spent scrolling downward a comic that has so much color and GEOMETRIC design. Juno and his curvy jaw, brown pie slice eyes, a cartoonishly high collar for his investigator jacket. Nureyev and his sharp square jaw, shimmering jewelry, and stick legs. Characters sticking out of the panels, fonts changing constantly, a little blue Juno that does his narration and *guitar theme plays* each time he appears.

Wolf 359: A classic comic. Issues month by month. Different special covers of the characters in extra dramatic poses or scenes. Even MORE panel breaking than Juno Steel. So MUCH onomatopoeia, even for small things like the clink of a panel or the disapproving hiss of Hilbert in the background. Geometric designs like Juno Steel, but less colorful. Like the superhero art style mixed with a more stylized look.

Midnight Burger: You pull up the Midnight Burger website. They have a hidden page that has a sort of script-comic thing going on, where the art is next to the writing. Small coded in notes from Leif sometimes pop up if you hold your arrow over the art. Links are attached to the parts where Effie and Zebulon play music, linking you to the music so you can listen to it while you read.

Desert Skies: An animated show. Indie, something you’d find on YouTube. The animation is bouncy and incorporates 3D animation alongside the 2D. Maybe the Sphere Movers have 3D models and the staff don’t? The credits are short because it was made by one guy. People are complaining about it on Twitter /j. People are making content farms about it. Everyone is pissed at Corson like they’re pissed at Jax.

The Amelia Project: A sort of simulation video game. You play as Arthur. You listen to their stories and draw pieces of the tale to invent their death. Every once in a while the game transitions to a point and click suspense game where you solve puzzles as Cole and Haines. Maybe there should even be an Operation-esque part of it where you work as Kozlowski.

Ghost Wax: A novel with a lot of pictures spliced in it. The stories are all in a single book, though the book is through Luca’s perspective— so he picks up on the ghost’s body language and Voncid’s reactions. The pictures are tarot cards with each victim as a card. Some are repeat cards— Lorem does not have a card at the end of the story. Nor does Our Home or Evening at the Ardent. The pictures are only white with black line art. No color whatsoever.

Kakos Industries: A company newsletter. Not a broadcast. A newspaper that arrives at your door and has big bold letters with the main story and pictures of the events that happen in the story as it goes. And the Sunday Comic page is full of employee shenanigans. Some innocent… some not.

I am losing my mind.
